Pablo Picasso was immediately entered into the art world at a very young age by his father who quickly realised his talent and set about helping him to achieve his potential. He was rushed into the Barcelona School of Fine Arts at the tender age of 14 and progressed quickly.
The Blue and Rose Period represents Picasso's key periods from 1900 to 1906. The subjects of Picasso's paintings during his appropriately-titled blue period were symbolised as depressed and sad, or at least at the point of their capture in the paintings of Picasso. This period was superceded by a more positive reflection of subjects during Picasso's Rose Period which used a more pink set of tones.
Henri Matisse, Joan Miro and George Braques all became friends of Pablo Picasso after he moved to the capital of arts, Paris, in 1904. Here Picasso was introduced to new art movements by its very influences, such as French Fauvism and Picasso.
Picasso's new direction led to the creation of the Cubist movement, in conjunction with other famous artists George Braque and Juan Gris. Cubism is based on construction through geometrical shapes. In later years, Synthetic Cubism was developed, incorporating various views of an object together.
Picasso's style developed into symbolism in his classics "Guernica", "Dying horse" and "Weeping woman". Guernica is a huge black and white canvas to represent the destruction of a Basque village during the Spanish Civil War.
Guernica by Picasso remained at the museum of Modern Art, New York until 1981. After that it was taken to the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain and then the Queen Sofia Center of Art, also Madrid in 1992. Picasso had prevented the Guernica returning to Spain until the end of Fascist rule by General Franco.
